Does Size Really Matter? The Pros to Sleeping on a Queen Mattress

It’s an age old question and when it comes to your mattress, size really does matter. From Twins to California Kings, there are many different size options for mattresses. We have 3 top reasons why you should be sleeping on a queen mattress:

Size Does Matter

The size of the mattress matters, but so does the size of the sleeper! If you’re over 5’5”, you should be looking for a queen or larger. For the average American man, a full size bed is simply too short, and his feet will hang off the edge. Full size and twin beds are made for people shorter than 5’5”. Considering most adults are about this height or taller, it’s an important fact to remember. It’s also important to remember your individual sleeping patterns. Some people sleep curled up, others stretch way out. The extra space gives you room to stretch out and find the most comfortable sleep position.

Consider Your Sleep Partner

If you have a sleep partner, whether it’s your husband, wife, or overly attached dog, having enough space for both of you on the bed is essential. Running into each other all night or simply having someone else roll over onto your side, can interrupt your sleep and greatly disturb the quality of your night. A full size mattress is tight for two adults to squeeze into. Bumping your mattress size up to a queen, will give you that extra real estate you need to comfortably sleep through the night with your sleep partner.

Think of Your Space

Not the space in your bed, but the space in the entire room. A queen size mattress offers two adult sleepers adequate room to rest during the night. It still leaves space in the room for furniture, pets, children, or simply to prevent the bedroom from feeling too cluttered. It’s also an ideal size for guest room beds. A queen bed can fit two visitors, but also one visitor who likes to stretch out at night, while still accommodating space in the room for luggage.

Queen size mattresses are the most popular size that is sold. They allow space for two sleepers, adequate room for an adult of average height, and still leave space in the bedroom. Sit ‘n Sleep can help find the right mattress for you, so contact us today!
